Consumerism requires us to be like babies.
Like this post?
We now live in a culture that encourages us to remain childishly egocentric into and through adulthood. Breast-feeding infants excel as consumers.

Oh to be like the weaned child of Psalm 131…
“O LORD, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes haughty;
Nor do I involve myself in great matters,
Or in things too difficult for me.
Surely I have composed and quieted my soul;
Like a weaned child rests against his mother,
My soul is like a weaned child within me.”
What the heck???
Reminds me of Oz Guiness’s Fit Bodies Fat Minds: why evangelicals don’t think and what to do about it.
Quite insightful regarding what it means to love God with our minds.
